Well, in general, platforms should always watch their backs for the possible problems that they can cause from the countries where they work, there is something that I did not like with Binance a long time ago, and that is that it blocked the accounts of Colombians, just because the police from another country asked to investigate them, and this seemed disrespectful to me, because they take advantage of people's data to track their transactions, so this seems unfair to me, in fact the Colombian authorities complained about this to the exchange because they do not have the right to do such acts that go against the identity of their country.
